Yesterday Owen was really fussy and sleepy. His soft spot was sort of bulgy and his eyes seemed to be bugging (drifting) out a little more than usual. All these things can point to a shunt malfunction. I am hoping I am just being overly paranoid, but I am going to call the neuro surg nurse today anyway. Please pray for wisdom. Discerning when there is really a problem is a difficult thing. Owen always has such mild symptoms of shunt failure.
Thank you,
jen

ReplyDeleteJen,
Of course I will send many prayers your way! I know EXACTLY what you mean when you feel like you are paranoid and overreacting. Trust your "mommy instinct," we know our children better than any medical/scientific explanation.
Trust in HIM, trust in HIM, trust in HIM.
((((Prayers and Hugs))))

ReplyDeleteLord, we lift up little Owen and thank You for all You are doing in his life. You have brought him so far and we give You all the praise and glory. Once more we come to You thanking You to touch his head and shunt so it works perfectly and stays exactly how it's supposed to be for him. Bless him, Lord, bless him. Give Jen and Eric wisdom as well as all his physicians and practitioners. Thank You,Jesus, for solving this issue. We ask all these things in Your Precious name. And it is so. Amen and Amen
